Transcript excerpt

I'm a recovered crackhead. Let's eat a protein shaker meal prep. This is about 800 calories, 40 grams of protein, much better than the single chicken biscuit I used to eat per day violently coughing across the street from the methadone clinic because my methadone hadn't kicked in yet while the Dunkin' Donuts person stared at me like I was insane. Now it's nicotine and weed, baby. Better it on. Whoop. Catch that. Flex and pass out.
